COMMENT

Had a great move, so he is not interested in it now. Full Kudos to management for what they have done to turn this company around.

DON'T BUY

Consumer staple companies tend to do well in the summer months and this is no different. Chart is tremendously positive but he wouldn’t be surprised to see a little bit of a pull back. We are outside the seasonal period of strength. He would wait for a pullback to get in from a technical basis. It has gone parabolic and needs to relax a little bit and come back and show that it has support underneath it.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Doing brilliantly.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Clearwater Seafoods (CLR-T) or High Liner Foods (HLF-T)? Both have done quite well. Feels the trend is your friend on these stocks. Revenues are climbing and the margins are strong. Hard to buy a stock that has gone up like these but they are going to go higher. If you don’t own, wait for an opportunity to buy.

BUY

Thinks both this and High Liner (HLF-T) are both Buys but he prefers High Liner. This one has had a correction, but he thinks it goes higher.

TOP PICK

Dominates the shellfish space. Value added sales to Japan where new management has tremendous expertise in the Far East. Thinks it’s capable of acquisitions.

BUY

Thinks there is more to go. Has a fleet of ships off the East Coast and is now the absolute dominant company. Has bought all of the fish quotas, which is remarkable.

DON'T BUY
Has extraordinary foreign exchange exposure. Have Cdn$ labour. Have made substantial investments in their fleet giving them slightly superior products with lower labour costs. Feels the valuation is pretty high.
DON'T BUY
A decent business. Her biggest concern is that this business is not suitable for a trust. Have very high capital expenditures. Another problem is that costs are in Cdn$ while income is in foreign currency.
DON'T BUY
Seafood business. Debt levels have been too high for him. Facing competition from Asia. Would prefer others.
BUY
Impressed with management. They bring an innovative approach to the seafood market. Have had some problems in the past, but seem to have worked through them. The market will probably take some time to warm back up to the story. Strong Cdn$ will hurt.
DON'T BUY
The largest producer of shellfish in North America. Sold out on the increasing concerns of old currency risk. Have had some operational problems.
DON'T BUY
Would steer clear of this one right now. Had some operational issues, primarily foreign exchange issues. 50% of their revenue is in US$, but their costs are in Cdn$'s. This trust has subordination, that is, management takes a loss first. Part of the $0.84 distribution is being financed by management. This is scheduled to come off at the end of this year.
DON'T BUY
Kind of a painful situation. Running into difficulties with both foreign currency exposure and some of their resource levels. Some of their species (?) is not as vigorous as she would like. Not buying as she would like to see them get their feet back under them again.
DON'T BUY
Key challenge is foreign exchange. Underlying business is healthy. Has experienced strong growth in both volumes and pricing in local curency but not enough to offset foreign exchange. Payout ratio is at or above 100% since inception. A very capital intensive business.
